Revelations on a Tropical Night
Latin nights, with warm and lazy rhythmsdusky after sundownand palms that waved in breezesby darkening seas;the soft throbbing beatof salsa on the beachcalls me back to that timeand those moments sublimewhere the air - scented and sweetborne of tropical climesand days of long heatwhispers cocktails and wineand the sound of the sealullabies endlessly...Stars in the sky mirror the seaas sparks in the sea of phosphorous lightburst in the night as a ripple of fireon the crests of the wavesand the deep deep sighas the waves retireleave a moment’s peace.There I lay in your arms as you breathed in sleepand watched the celestial drama sweepin vast dimensions overhead.A miracle of being came clear to meas I joined in one with Infinityone moment, and knew with certaintywho we are and how our base humanityhad fallen so far from divinity.I felt my spirits soar -but the moment passed and we at last,returned back again along the shorewhence we had come,to the distant soundsof Latin dance in the shanty town.Tropical nights in a distant land,making love on the midnight sand,casting loose in the naked sea -those were moments in eternity!I will always remember the mood of loveas we lay enlaced with the rest of the universe above us;but most of all, when the dark rain fallsand the northern wind brings an icy squall,how the warmth and scent of the tropic nightyielded vision inward of a different sightand Love of a higher nature beckoned me,Oh moments, sweet moments in Eternity...
